GOING: S

Race 7 2000m

Track: SOFT      

Peisha Copa is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. SATONO EMPIRE (2) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1650m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. NEPOTISM BABY (8) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on January 27 over 2000m when she scored by one length. Winning rider Takayuki Yano retains the mount. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to score again. PARMIGIANINO (5) is fresh from a spell of ten months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 1400m. In a different yard now. Sound top-three prospects. YOU HINATA (9) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 6 lengths back in seventh. Has her share of ability and can do a lot better.
